Q And I don't think a lot of people realize is You committed, you made yourself on the hook for doing it, right? You publicly said, I'm doing this thing.
A Yeah, I, that's, um, that's my addiction to Twitter. So, um, I, I just have to, like, it's a, that's great content, right? Like, if I, if I say I'm posting about it, so, like, um, my previous startup was called Bear Metrics, like a business analytics platform. I sold it back in 2020. Uh, but like in 2030, I think I had a very similar tweet where, uh, Stripe had just started, like they were still at really early days. Nobody had really built anything on their API other than just like integrating it for payments. But as far as like apps built on top of Stripe, nobody else had really done anything. So like I made a tweet that said something like SAS or like Stripe analytics, uh, company. Um, I'm building it tonight. Like coffee brewed. This was like at like seven PM or something. And, um, And that was the kind of thing that like I, you know, over the course of about two weeks or something, I built this tool that ended up like I sold for like millions of dollars back in 2020. Like, but that, that resulted in this or it started at the impetus for it was this tweet that I made. And so like, I find myself doing that a lot habitually where like, if I think of something, I'll tweet about it. And then like that just brings up, you know, First customers a lot of times come from these kind of tweets, like it's self-serving, um, to some extent. And it does, it does provide a little bit of a…

Q Okay, cool. So we got that. And then what happened?
A So logo, um, So the, and I'll walk, I'm not going to just like cover all the tweets here, but I do think this plays a part in sort of the story here. So, um, what you see me doing here is like, I, I post a poll about like, how do we style the noma, the domain? Do we do this, you know, capitalize the S lowercase, whatever, uh, post a screenshot of like proof that I've actually got something working and This entire time is me making this almost this community effort on some level. Um, to me, what's super interesting about social is not just constantly broadcasting, right? Like it's, uh, it's, uh, the interactivity part. It's me posting something and someone has an idea, me posting something, a logo, and someone responds with a different logo. Uh, you know, it's, uh, someone saying, like, I like that feature. What if you did this? And That's incredibly beneficial. Um, both to me as I'm sort of doing this sitting here in a box by myself, uh, but it's also building up a bit of hype on the product itself. Um, so I keep yapping about it. Um, and then get to the point where it's like, Hey, we've launched again. That was seven o'clock that night. Um, basically I worked on it for the better part of 12 hours or so that day. And, um, But I think later that evening, like I stayed up another couple of hours and was at, I mean, we did a thousand dollars or something in revenue within a couple…
